GLHF.tv - Official Thread - Page 30

You know, GunRun, it's hard to please people and yourself at the same time, and to evolve your casting you need to please yourself first so you can keep your style. I know that you are asking feedback, people are giving it for free, but that shouldn't affect you emotionally. I know it's something cold to do, but I guess we need the ego for something...I suggest you see suggestions as suggestions and implement them realistically, and not wishfully, if that makes any sense.GLHFand sorry if I read you wrong :-S

Try these first

Today I settled all family business so don't tell me what is imba. Admit what you did.

I really like your casting, but your approach to dota2 is really ... improvable!Referring to your game with Crystal Maiden: Dont buy boots first. Thats what newbies do. You are really better of with buying some stats. If you level your ice imprisonment, then why do you cast your level 1 frost nova all the time? Thats a waste of mana. Freeze him and attack him. Thats far more efficient. Also if you go mid, try to control the runes. That said, an imrovement to last hitting would be advisable, but this will come along with practice.And don´t worry: Everyone was a beginner once, and dota (2) is a hard one to get into!

Just tuned in for IEM cast. I like the pauses. Think that too many casters just say what they see happening on the screen. Better to keep those pauses if they provide resources to such excellent observer control, and especially letting commentate on higher level: how builds, scout, reactions, army movements etc succeed.

Hey guys, just to answer some things. Switching resolutions is on twitch's side as I understand it. It'll be available when there's not much load on the servers, but unavailable when the servers are stressed. I will ask thegunrun to confirm.

"The happy animu girl banner" is the fine work of ATK. You can find him over at http://twitter.com/ATK402 Be sure to tell him you like what he did, I'm sure he'd very much appreciate it.

When it comes to pauses, I think that's how I handle solocasting. I feel that if I talk talk talk, I sometimes start missing things or missreading things. Things I beat myself up over after. So to compensate for not having anyone else to fill the dead air some times I'll throw out a line like "so lets look at the bottomline" and try to evaluate the game where it stands regardless of what happened previously. I'm glad to hear it doesn't bother everyone.

An extreme example of this was Idra vs Supernova during IEM. I think it's one of my worst casts this year. I felt like it was painful to watch, Idra with a 0-4 record and Supernova just picking all-in timings and I think that showed. I should do better than just repeat "oof this looks painful". With Idra winning in the end I'm sure I could've hyped it up a bit more.

The stronger team color mod you can pick up off TL. Some people like it, others hate it. I believe that especially for those with poorer connections watching in lower resolutions it really makes things a lot easier to follow. So I hope those that dislike it can sympathize with those less fortunate connection-wise.

Beyond that, I got to cast some Call of Duty 4 this weekend at LAN after a long hiatus from the game and I'm training to cover a Benelux Street Fighter 4 AE tournament on the 28th. For those events, I don't list the stream on TL (not sc2 so..) So feel free to subscribe the channel or follow glhftv or me on twitter if you're interested in those games as well!

Hi, babydriz here. Although I don't have basically anything to do with the GLHF stream or production, I do spend a portion of my time scouting for music to add to Martijn's playlist. I've been really flattered that a lot of the music added over the past year has received positive feedback, and so, for your convenience I'm updating the playlist on here Hope you continue to enjoy listening to the streams and as always, good luck, have fun.
